Baggage Door Seal

[exM20K]

I know there are lots of posts here on door seal replacement, including one from @Gee Bee Aeroproducts that all have me confused.

My seal got pinched on the front side and is now perforated and prolapsing through the door/fuselage gap.

I’m not interested in a seal that mounts on the fuselage, which many of the after-market ones seem to do. 
 

if someone could direct me to an off-the-shelf replacement and associated adhesive, I’d really appreciate it.  Meantime, perhaps some glue will fix the hole.

Dan, I'll hunt down the company who supplied me with one as it fit well. I used glue gone and mek to clean well,  and 3M "gorilla snot" to adhere the new seal. Expect closing difficulty until new seal is "broken in" to the frame. 

A few days in the f47 Sun will expedite this

Not sure about the replacement or adhesive, but Peerco 321 Adhesive Remover did a great job removing the old glue from my door where the seal used to be without stripping any paint.

My research showed off-the-shelf factory-style replacements weren't easily available.  But I did stop short of calling the factory.  Hope you find one.

Brown Aircraft T-9088 and 3M yellow super weatherstrip and gasket adhesive is what Mooney uses.

I went with the self stick fuselage mounted seal a few years ago but wasn’t crazy about the idea either; too easy to damage dragging bags out.

Just finished a rear door seal for a Harpoon

I will continue to support all airframes as we have a unlimited tooling budget.

Definitely agree, a few years ago I needed the luggage door seal replaced and the shop used the fuselage type and I was pissed because I knew intrinsically by looking at it that it would get pitted and destroyed just by light use, and I was correct. By annual time the next year, it was nearly gone from the bottom of the frame and I had my shop install the correct type, which is glued to the hatch.

The one on the left certainly looks like it would fill a bigger gap around our not-so-perfect-fitting doors and, as GB says, be easier to close.  The silicone should last a long time.  Nice innovation.
